''Logic is mocked, plot strands capriciously abandoned. Actors chew upholstery, and the heroine has so many 'Don't open that door, lady!' moments that the movie starts to play like an unintended parody of overblown hokum.''(San Francisco Chronicle)

''Arguably the worst reconstitution of a '50s sci-fi classic since the ghastly Godzilla remake.''(Houston Chronicle)

''Must be the worst major release in what may be the most disastrous year in recent Hollywood history.''(Time)

''The film is a soggy mess, essentially a loud, wild 100-minute battle movie bookended by an incomprehensible beginning and a laughable ending.''(Washington Post)

''Sucks.''(Rolling Stone)

''Even if Reeves could act, his character as written would be flatter than a floppy disk.''(Washington Post)

''Undramatic and unexciting computer-graphics special effects designed to show what's inside Reeves' head. On the evidence, there isn't much.''(Variety)
